That&#39;s incredibly beneficial.<br />Sometimes I create smaller mini-piles of essays or speeches to grade, which makes the large pile look less daunting. It&#39;s all smoke and mirrors, but it&#39;s helped mentally when I&#39;m facing a truckload of grading (which I happen to be facing this week.)<br />I&#39;ve also set a timer when I grade to establish a baseline of time to spend per assignment (20 minutes per essay, perhaps). Then I attempt to race myself.<br />Of course, there are times when I just want to toss all the papers down a flight of steps and assign grades based on which essay traveled the farthest. ;)Robin Kramer Writeshttp://www.robinkramerwrites.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486740904602696078.post-35352369623171704462015-02-26T07:57:00.746-08:002015-02-26T07:57:00.746-08:00And if that teaspoon also holds the love of God, a...And if that teaspoon also holds the love of God, and faith that He will accomplish what my drama buckets can&#39;t . . .

It&#39;s especially wonderful to have it baking while I&#39;m turning pancakes. And the aroma drifts about as a wonderful breakfast call. <br />My Mother-in-law apparently did the same on Sunday mornings. It gave her time to change from her church clothes and ready the eggs and toast.
